I assume you have the normal definition for average: the sum / count

What is your problem doing this?

Well I can't do it because it is inside a linkedList. How would I call all the elements inside the list. I know it is the sum / count but how would I sum it

You could always use an Iterator to add them up and get the average

float Steveavg = 0;
        ListIterator<Integer> it = SteveScore.listIterator(SteveScore.size());
        while (it.hasPrevious()) 
        {
            float sum = it.previous();
            Steveavg += sum/SteveScore.size();
        }

For the rest you could just change the name
